    Welcome,, and a little advice. While you are at it, put new brakelines on the car. Safety first. Looks like a great project.

    Good to hear... I was just worried a perfectly good Maverick may have been getting parted out just because it was a big bumpered car. Good luck on your project, keep us updated. :)

    we have just got the car in black primer so it would be all the same color. we also got the rear end out of the 77. we are hoping to have it done and painted by chistmas.
